The Thunder entered halftime with a 60-59 lead. Out of the break, the Thunder went on a 16-6 run to create some space on the scoreboard. But the Grizzlies answered back as Scotty Pippen Jr. dissected OKC's defense. The Thunder had a slight 88-85 lead after three quarters.

Scotty Pippen Jr. learned that the hard way in the fourth quarter when he attempted to cut off OKC's All-Star forward on a fastbreak. Williams brushed the undersized defender off with ease, sending him flying, before he stopped on a dime for a 3-pointer that found the bottom of the net.
